Steel Shortage in Australia.
Stocks of steel plates, tin plate and
galvanized iron are low throughout
Australia, and the demand is acute, ac
cording to consular advices from Mel
bourne. There is' at present very
little prospect of outside relief, and
an effkt is being made to manufacture
these goods in Australia. Recently
representatives of a company In New
castle and one In Melbourne Were sent
to the United States to purchase
machinery for making steel. The high
freights and shortage of supply offer
a great incentive to the manufacture
of lines that would have been consid
ered impossible to produce before the
war.

Along the straight, glistening road,
through a dim arcade of drooping

of weary feet and numb brains and
heavy hearts.

New Roof and Panel Material.
A plant has been established at Bold,
near Widnes, Lancashire, for the man
ufacture of asbestos-cement sheeting,
plain and corrugated. It is claimed,
writes Consul Horace Lee Washington
at Liverpool, that the product will be
of special value in the work of Euro
pean construction when the war is
over.' It will compete with various
materials hitherto used for paneling
and roofing, and more particularly
with galvanized iron. It is claimed
that the sheeting is fireproof, and will
last for many years. The process of
manufacture Is described as similar to
that of paper making.
Why Cherries Are Red.
It was the theory of Darwin that
nature made cherries beautiful to the
eye for a definite purpose. Red, he
said, was the most prominent and at
tractive color. Cherries turned to that
hue in order to attract birds. Birds,
noting the brilliant globules, taste'd
them, found them to their liking, told
other birds and consumed the crop,
swallowing seeds and all. In this way
the cherry stones were carried far and
wide over the country and dropped
where they might grow into other
cherry trees.

Great Nurnberd of Beast of the Desert
Used by the British In Defense
of Egypt.
Along the banks 'at the Sites canal
pnd thence-along the old coast road to
the east you will find today between
the endless series of British encamp
mente caravans of camels passing tQ
pnd ,fro with their burdens or lying
patiently at their mangers and chow
ing the cud with that tranquil expres
sion of the beast which no stress of
war can disturb, says the Manchester
Guardian.
There are more camels gathered
here than ever were assembled in the
bazaars of Cairo or Damascus. Though
the defense of Egypt has been carried
forward from the canal itself to the
hills and dunes of the Sinai desert
and to 'the Land of Promise beyond,
the camel is still an integral part of
the defensive scheme. Roads and rail
ways, it is true, run out here and there
eastward from the bank, but there re
mains a vast hinterland unreclaimed
from the desert, waste, in which our
troops continually move.
